Kindertransport

A modern classic about one woman's struggle to come to terms with her past — brutally separated from her German Jewish parents at the age of 9 and brought to England with the promise of a new life. Kindertransport is a set text for GE Drama (AQA) and AS/A-Level English Literature (WJEC).
This edition also includes several personal memoirs by German-born children whose lives were saved, and transformed, by the Kindertransport.
Winner of the 1992 Verity Bargate Award
'Desperately harrowing… searing theatre that cuts across a continuum of suffering to the very heart of what unifies us as human' The Times
'A powerful contribution to Holocaust literature… presented with emotional clarity and intense sympathy' New Yorker

    I think you guys (the website not the book) need to let the readers read books for free like this book but you guys are like every other website: "You need to subscribe in order to read this book".
